    Hello,

    I have a older clevo x7200, i have the original setup/drivers for the fingerprint scanner, and they install to register scanner in device manager, but thats it, the software does not work with Windows 10, im wondering what software can be used with said scanner. i would like to have this as a feature, but a search on google has me confused, is there a sage/clevo software that will work?

    please help!!

    The software that was used back on Win 7 was discontinued; I think Apple bought out one of the developers. We now rely on Windows 10 integrated support/configuration for the FP scanner.

    If you just want to use it as a login for Windows, have you checked to see if you can set it up through the Accounts settings?
